It's a cool plant isn't it!
I managed to grow two from seed but they only lived for about a year. I guess they didn't find the required host plant. Although I DO have a habit of mysteriously killing all types of plant.........
Unfortunately they don't grow here in Tasmania (well not naturally), but I've already found a similar thing growing in the bush here on our own land this time. Native Cherry - Exocarpus cupressiformis
This is apparently 'semi-parasitic' .... and it's not so impressive looking, but nice.
